: Clay, regarding heifers, there are still
: several competitive showmen/families who are
: not "done", including yourself.
: You left out a lot of names. I expect the
: heifer competition to continue to get
: tougher as it has in the past few years.
: There will be "heat".

: Regarding the steers, I'm glad there were
: advisors on the ad hoc committee who were
: willing to address this topic and make some
: changes. On the state level, these things
: have been ignored. atl, this topic is
: discussed, but in whispers and innuendos and
: that's not the right way, either. And we
: all know that this is not the first time
: there were underhanded things going on.
: Parents need to be the noisemakers, we're
: the ones with the biggest stake in this
: ($$). But, from experience, I have learned
: that if you speak up, you are accused of
: "hurting the program", "it's
: all about the kids", "that's just
: a rumor", etc. I have also heard over
: the past few years, that letters to the
: state offices about problems have been
: ignored. Is the program hurt more by
: correcting a problem or pretending that
: there aren't any?

: Clay I don't think you have anything to
: appologize for, but I think that it is very
: good that this topic has come up even though
: this boardroom may not be the best place to
: discuss it. The fact of the matter is that
: some really shady doings are going down and
: SmoothJ is right on the money. I believe
: there is enough support from showmen and
: their families to get something done, but I
: think some local and state advisors need to
: grow a pair. Being a thug is not what
: livestock showing is about.
